JavaScript validation is useful but not a replacement for server side validation. The latter is necessary if you want to guarantee that what you are hitting your DB with is above board - it is a fairly trivial process to bypass JS validation and submit malicious / incorrect data.<br />
<br />
The question is what are you using server side to process in the incoming data?

Hi, I am attempting to work through users potentially replacing a typed <b>&amp;</b> which in our code is not allowed, with &amp;amp; either using JavaScript or the like. We wish to have it converted when the user hits the send button to search a database for reporting data. <br />
<br />
Some of the code that we have used for this purpose has failed, and it seems to me it &nbsp;should be a simple if then statement upon send. But I'm not sure of the correct syntax. <br />
<br />
Does anyone have code, and possibly a working example? I would very much appreciate any help. <br />
<br />
Thank you in advance<br />
